NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN Q , L . f,f.f.-'v. V ,., ,,.,.,.. ,,,,, .,,.. . . , Part of the crowd at the Thanksgiving game. the date to the prom, and last, when the days of school become so few that you could count them on your fingers. No doubt you re- member plainly these Uhappeningsn and many IHOYC. Purpose Just in case you have forgotten some of those precious moments, we have aided your memory by issuing a concise memorandum which will contain many of those fleeing inci- dents. NVe hope this book will aid you and when things seem blue find therein-mem- ory. We have pictured herein your school life as it His. ln case you find this review boring and uninteresting, the book may be used for an antique, a fly swatter or a door mat. Us Nobody knows the trouble we've seen, tak- ing pictures, finding advertisers, and writing up the material. For us the year has been a wee bit tough. The sponsorship has passed three times into different hands and naturally this would bring added burdens. The sponsors have been very kind, patient, and interesting. They have faithfully fulfilled their duty, we hope that we have done as much by them. The book is informal, which means there are no Forward, Backward or Division pages, and no official Snap Shot section. We picture for you your school life as is. VVhat should be re- corded none could agree. Time, space, and finances impose their limits. Must we measure the greatness in terms of trophies, victories, good times or grades? The staff wishes to thank the faculty and the student body who have cooperated splendidly and who have aid- ed greatly in the collection of the features for this book of evaluation. Whats New We have improvements of which we should be proud. A large time-clock for the gym, a new school bus, refinished desks, athletic equipment, commercial articles, new stage scen- ery, a new pencil sharpener for the study hall, and many new books for the library. We ap- preciate these new additions. Appreciation The Staff wishes to thank Mr. Frick for his cooperation in publishing the Orange and Black. During his years of principalship, Mr. Frick has always been eager to help and has always offered profitable advice and consulta- tion. Future staffs will miss his friendly atti- tude toward the yearbook. The year is over Your shouting is done, Either you've conquered Or either you've Won. If you who graduate Are happy or sad, Appreciate our efforts We've made you glad By editing for your benefit The Orange and Black of '37,

THE C. C. C. H. S. ORANGE AND BLACK the liind of Year this was n n n n We Worked, we Played, we Laughed, we Sang, we were Thrillell, we were Embarrassed, we were Happy, we were Sad. HlS Year was different, different in many - respects. Instead of having to dodge a hunk of chalk or duck away from a well-aimed pa- per wad, we, upon entering school in Septem- ber, were confronted with a much more serious problem, that of Knock Knocks. Remember how we were tormented by those punny, un- original knock knocks. And not far behind these hideous puns were those intimated han- dies.', Remember when some individual would confront you with his hands fixed and shaped in. some peculiar formation and expect you to guess immediately what his figure represented. We hated all those crazy antics then, but now we treasure their memory. Also new and different this year was a new office assistant and five new instructors. How we liked to peek into the rooms of the mysterious new teachers. Year Was Sad Fortunate for the mere underclassmen but extremely unfortunate for the dear ole grads, this eventful year has passed entirely too, too rapidly. Since the first grade cards- the young uns of our student body have waited ex- pectantly for the closing of the portals, Alas, however, for our superior seniors, they have shunned the thought of the ending of the year. They have an excellent right for their alarmed attitude. They are leaving a school which has, by their splendid cooperation and effort, been made a stronger organization. They are leaving the school which they through their ideals, sportsmanship, and citi- zenship have made better. The school will miss the grads. Much personal talent and person- ality will leave, their owners never to return. But next year there will be another class of Seniors and we can only hope that the succeed- ing classes will continue with the high ideals which the graduating class of '37 has estab- lished. The Year llevealetl The year was grand. The year was gay. The year was thrilling. Who is there who has not been delighted by the crowded halls, the broken lockers, the obstinate school marms, the noisy chapels, and numerous other things and stuff which hold a glamour that is inde- scribable. The year was brimmed with exciting events. Remember the first day of school when the fresh fresh asked politely where the elevator was. VVhen our Tiger lads staged a beautiful comeback in football, when election wagers were floating, when Christmas vacation was over, when you asked the one and only for Industrious looks, history notes, and thoughts of dinner.

C. C. C. H. S. offers many fine courses. The courses are administered by efficient and e 0 m p e t e n t instructors. The student who is taking the most advantage of these facilities is the person who in the future will be the best equipp ed. There are seven courses avail- able: collegiate, commercial, general, home economics, mu- sic, normal training, and voca- tional agriculture. Five stud- ies are required for gradua- tion: three English, one mathe- matics, one science-civies and American history. Sixteen cred- its are required for the com- pletion of high school course. Few stu-dents graduate- in three years, most students live and learn the entire four years. Every student must account for six hours during the day, four classes and two study halls. School begins immediately at 8 :35 a. m. Students are excused for lunch at 11:50 a. m. After- noon classes extend from 1:00 p. m. until 3:35. This arrange- ff I SILENKE N lll1!Ill I in +5 ..

It has been known that some clever stu- dents bring e at ab 1 c s to school quite often to satisfy their third hour hunger. The beginning of the school year starts off with a morning chapel. Special music is fur- nished by the music instructors for the year. The teachers are introduced and the principal tells of his plans. He also in- forms the students what should not be done. The freshmen listen very eagerly to all that's being said, while the elder members are not quite so atten- tive. In the afternoon fifteen minute classes are held . . . it is the same old drag for everyone but the new 'uns They find pleasure dashing to and fro and being exceptionally early or tardy to their first class. After being fooled by the signs on the doors for a few days they soon find the key of how to find their classrooms. If the marker on the door reads Al- gebra it will undoubtedly be the Biology room, or if the door reads Am. History it will be the English room. Everyone is usually glad to be back to school and to renew old friendships and seek new acquaintances. Every-Day The day dawnswthe janitor arrives, student janitors come looking sleepy. The teachers approach the building laugh- ing, cheek in, and open their A man's department but they couldn't keep Sharples and Green out. Miss Lamb's beginning stenographers. rooms. The coaches file into the office and talk about ath- letic events. The first bell rings, the school day is about to begin--oops pardon-we al- most forgot the students, who arrive least and also last. The last bell rings-students come to and fro, slamming lockers as they go. Everyone is present now except the late sleepers who come tardy and explain sadly that their alarm clock forgot to alarm them. The of- fice girl starts her daily task of answering questions-where is the paper cutter, where is Mr. Erick, are you busy, are we go- ing to have chapel, and is it alright if I get an excuse from you instead of Mr. Unger. The librarians in the study hall start checking out magazines- never books. The teachers in the classrooms give their warn- ing cough and check the at- tendance. Every student takes a last minute glance at his text- book so he will be able to an- swer the first question. First hour passes quickly. Everyone leaves the classroom and hur- ries to the fountain to get a drink. Second hour flees rap-
